Rail Cargo Group sees its role not only in transportation but also as a sustainable logistic backbone of the European economy. The first submission of RCG was completed last year and it submitted all climate-relevant figures. Thanks to this CDP was able to summarize the actions by RCG and awarded the company a C rating which is seen by the RCG as a respectable result since it is their first submission. They aim to continue to improve as they gather more data and apply more climate protection measures.
Besides the CDP organization, RCG is also assessed by ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) or EcoVadis.
What is the CDP?
The CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project) is a non-profit charity with offices and local partners in more than 50 countries. Its goal is to run a global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states, and regions to manage their environmental impacts. CDP is the gold standard of environmental reporting and has the most comprehensive dataset on corporate and city actions.
Based on voluntary questionnaires companies and governmental institutions etc. can disclose their environmental data, among which are for ex. greenhouse gas emissions or water consumption. CDP also works on encouraging new entities to join this voluntary transparent action for a greener future.
